Can’t figure out what to buy those guys and gals who already have everything? Well, don’t buy them anything; give them a free book! Then instead of paying for yet another unwanted sweater, you can use the money that you saved to make donations to charity in the names of your friends and relatives.

At Jersey City Free Books you won’t have to stand in line at the cash register. You can relax and take as much time as you like to choose titles that will give all the names on your list many hours of reading pleasure. You can still gift wrap the books so to be able to put something more than just an envelope under the tree. Plus, the note of thanks and explanation from the charity certainly will communicate the true meaning of the season better than any card.

Jersey City Free Books at 297 Griffith St. is a community book store that provides something to read without charge, obligation, registration or indoctrination.

Jersey City Free Books serves seniors, students, the unemployed and working families. Thousands of books are available. A wide-distribution magazine recently listed us as a tourist destination! In addition to the local community, we’ve provided books for a school in the Philippines, a shelter in Camden, a mission in Africa and a student film in New York City.

Everyone is welcome to take any number of books for their reasonable, personal use. Jersey City Free Books is eager to assist local charities by providing quantities of books. More information — including the current schedule — is available at the Web Site.http://JerseyCityFreeBooks.com
